2.7 Warm-up Mode
This feature allows the operator to increase the engine’s RPM, while the Clutch remains in Neutral. Warm-Up
Mode is operational only when the Control Head lever is moved in the Ahead direction.
The system is placed into Warm-Up Mode as follows:
A At the Station-in-Command, ensure that the Control Head’s lever is in the Neutral detent position
(refer to Figure 2-9: Control Head Warm-Up Mode).

B Depress and hold the transfer button.
C After one second, move the Control Head’s lever to the Ahead detent, while continuing to hold the
transfer button.
D Now release the transfer button.
• The red LED indicator light will blink slowly, indicating Warm-Up Mode is activated and the
Clutch has remained at Neutral.
E The operator can start the engine, if required, and increase the RPM through the entire throttle range
by moving the Control Head’s lever forward through the next 65 degrees.
F When the Control Head’s lever is returned to the Neutral detent, the red LED will discontinue blinking
and remain lit steady. After one second in Neutral, the Processor will automatically reset to normal
operation with full control of the clutches and engine.
G The next movement of the Control Head’s lever will engage the Ahead or Astern clutch (Normal
Operation).
